Hello all :)
Well, i have not been updating much cos its been quite a hectic week/couple of weeks.
Anyway, we finished movement C today~ AWESOME :D Its an accomplishment right?
But wait, dont be too complacent yet! We might have finished the song, but we're still far away from the actual mark. We managed to finished ALL the movements today continuously, which was great :) The last time we played this, we screwed up big time at Movement C.
So as you guys can hear for yourselves, we've improved abit :) -clapsclaps-
Your Section Leaders and members have put in alot of effort in coaching you and guiding you. So please dont let them down. PLEASE. PRACTICE. AT. HOME. Some of the section leaders might have pointed out your weak bars in which YOU have to master it ASAP. And even Mr Eng himself have also pointed out section by section on which bars we need to improve on.
So please work on those, or rather focus more on those during Sectionals.
There is actually a whole bunch of things coming up and all of us are involved. We also have new sets of rules or rather some basic ones.
- Starting from THIS WEEK, we have to go back to practice on SATURDAYS; 8 - 11AM. Some of the saturdays we might not have practice due to one reason or another, but till then, we have practice on saturdays. Cancellation of practices will be told to you via THIS BLOG / SMS / Notice.
[The following is a summary of the paper/notice that you have received today.
